superiority in picket and accommodating duty.
The furnishing Of the German infantry with
the new gun will be finished in spring. Thus,
as some twenty years ago with the breach
loader, the German will now be the first army
armed with the magazine gun. The army
corps stationed nearest the frontiers have
been provided first with the new gun, viz.
the Fourth, Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Four
teenth, Fifteenth and the Garde corps. The
corps of Saxony and Bavaria, which are pro
vided from their own factories, have also pro
ceeded to arm themselves with the new gun
and will be provided as the Prussian parts of
the army.

TRIGGER L o MAGAZINE FIRING.
expected viii meet all the requirements of
the most severe test. The gun is the result of
long, tireless experiments, under the powerful
patronage of the German government of the
Swiss Vetterti rife. It's official designation
is an '71-'84," the title Indicating the years
of its development and the fact that it cm-
ploys the magazine principle. 1t is claimed
that the construction of this gun is such rs to
avoid most of the drawbacks that have at
tended other and more complex arIns Of the
same general type. With the bayonet at
tached this gun IS five feet seven inches long,
and with magazine empty, and without
bayonet, weighs ten pounds: with bayonet
eleven pounds nine ounces.
Among the Improvements it embodies
which are worthy Of note are these: 1t Is
shorter than the old gun, and consequently
its center of gravity lies further back; this
facilitates good aim. The cartridges, after
firing, are expelled by a spring, instead of be-
ing jerked out by hand. The trigger pulls
easily and there is little recoil. The maya
zine, consisting OF a barrel running parallel
with the bore, contains eight cartridges,
which are pushed backward by means of a
spiral spring. As they enter the lower cham
Der of the lock a SO called spoon lifts them
into the firing chamber, whence, as already
stated, the shells are subsequently expelled
by a special contrivance. Ordinarily the
gun is used for simple firing, and the manipu-
lations are the same in that case as for maya
zine firing. But there are times in every
action, of course, when the latter use of the
gun must be made, and by this method an
aimed shot can be made in from two to three
seconds, or about half the time required
when single shooting is practiced. But
the commanding officers must be care
full to see that the reserve or maya
zine cartridges are not used waste
fully-that they must be reserved for such
times as require the most rapid and destruc-
tive work, such as the climax of a charge, a

had acquired a local reputation as a writer
and had written and published a volume
entitled sMusic and Musical People of the

land entered on his Office Frederick Douglass
resigned the Office of register Of deeds for the
District of Columbia, and the president, on the
18th of March, 1886, sent in the name of James
Q. Matthews, a colored Democrat of Albany:
but the senate rejected the nomination by a
three-fourths majority, the reason generally
assigned being that they thought a resident
OF the district should be appointed. August

Mr.. Cleveland again appointed Nh. Matthews
to the place and he, has since served. but In
the last week of January the senate again re-
jected him by a vote of 81 to II. On the last
day of February the president sent to the
senate the naane of James NJ. Trotter, of HYDE
Park, Massachusetts,; and, as above stated.
the appointment excited much comment both
in Washington and the country at large.
The Office is ordinarily worth at least ss, oo0
a year. though in Mr.. Douglass term an ex-
tr%aordinary activity in real estate transac-
lions brought the aggregate of fees in one
year up to $4,000, and it is claimed that
during Mr.. Matthews brief incumhency the
fees amounted to S $1,000 per month. So the
Office is n calculated to excite much inter-

who fondly believe that they can enter
the haven of married life without the

way. Last year no less than forty
couples from abroad, who had gone
there expressly for the purpose, were
Joined in wedlock, and zap To the end
of July upwards OF twenty couples
had followed their example. it is,
nevertheless, a fact that the pyesenta-
ton of the usual documents, such as
certificates of birth, the written con-
sent of parents, etc, are as much re.
quired as on the mainland. The IA
Gritty and expeditiousness Of the pro
cedure chiefly consist In that, under
certain circumstances. the lack OF ONE
OF the necessary papers may be dis
pensed with on formal declaration
upon oath, and that a single publica-
ton OF the bans ON sunday IL con-
sidered sufficient as consonant with
the old Frisonian custom. Thus All
anxious couple may arrive SATURDAY,

dates OF wedlock take the way u

legal notice, and perhaps also the
long comments at home. Others,
again, choose the island TO ute TO the
